What is your dream come true?

If I had the money, I would also hire a cleaning service but I would also want a cook! And someone to do the yard, too. All of that domestic stuff is a struggle for me.
Now if I really had the money, like win the lottery, I have a long list. I would buy us our own house. (Not a mansion or anything, just our own house.) And a house for my mother-in-law. And I would put away money for the boys to go to college. I would pay off all my debt. And I would try to be creative or go to school to get a creative job or something.
But then, I would also give back. I have this dream because when my middle son was a baby we had 0 money. I had just finished school and I was looking for a job, our phone was going to get shut off, and we were on food stamps. And I had no money for diapers. And I went to all the homeless shelters and food banks and no on had diapers. I sat on the curb with my baby and I cried. A month later I got my first job thanks to my schooling. So one of my big dreams is that 1) I would start a charity where diapers are donated to food banks and shelters. 2) I would start a charity that helps moms and dads who are in that situation with things like a phone so they can get call backs for job interviews.
So, those are my big dreams.
